An Aquatic Playground off the Coral Coast

Off shore from Onslow, the coral reefs around the Mackerel and Monte Bello Islands are truly special... So you can imagine the abundance of different fish species. For the adventurous divers, some of the most unique dive sites are located in these waters.

The Mackerel Islands are a summer breeding ground for the Flat Back and Green Turtles that inhabit the surrounding waters. They can be seen laying eggs on the beaches from around mid-October and baby turtles can be seen hatching and making their way to the water's edge from around Christmas, right through until March or April.
